Livingston home; he is making the revival

YOU HAVE HAD TROUBLE.
Perhaps it was the little child taken
away from yOu--the sweetest child Oi the

always went Ia her with your troubles.
She was in your home la welcome your

into which we will all have to run. The
moment when We lct 90 of this life and

Christian soul rocking on the surgcs OF
death; all the powers of darkness seem let
out against that sOul--thr swring wave
the thunder of the sky, the shrek Of the
wind, all seem to unite together. but that
soul is not troubled; there il no sighing,
there arc no tears; plenty of tears in the
room at the departure, but he wccpE no
tears; calm, satisfied, peaceful; all is well.
''By the flash Of the storm you see the har-
Dor Just ahead, and you are making for
that harbOr. All shall be well, Jesus
